VAUDE products bearing the Eco Finish been waterproofed in an environmentally-friendly way without fluorocarbons (PFC). PFCs are part of a group of chemical compounds which are used to waterproof the outer layer of many outdoor products. They have come under criticism for being non-biodegradable, bioaccumulative and toxic, and suspected of being harmful to health. VAUDE has made a clear commitment to completely renouncing PFCs.

To love mountains means to protect mountains. The Shuksan 3L Jacket is designed for green pioneers; alpinists and ski tourers who want high performing weather protection in the mountains and who want to sustain and conserve the environment around them at the same time. A touring jacket designed to meet these demands. By using innovative and eco-friendly 3-layer materials, this jacket is naturally waterproof, windproof and extremely breathable. The robust, stretchy shell material consists up to 95% of post-consumer recycled polyamide. The PTFE-free Ceplex Green membrane is based on recycled polyurethane with S-Cafe®, which is manufactured from used coffee grounds. In addition, the lining is made from 100% recycled polyester. The design is made to suit the needs of mountain climbers: the jacket won’t slide out of your harness on big climbing moves; the adjustable hood is helmet-compatible. Large front pockets provide enough room for warm gloves or your topo map. During a tour, they’re also a great place to store your climbing skins so that the warmth of your body keeps them warm in freezing temperatures for better sticking power and traction in the snow. Two side, higher set slide-in pockets also provide room for smaller essentials that need to be accessible even with your harness on. In the inner mesh pockets, you’ll find a nice spot for a cap or ski goggles.
